IT IS the ultimate in sports memorabilia — Pele No 10, a giant limited-edition book of the footballing legend. And today in The Times, we reveal exclusive, rarely seen images from the 300,000-word tome, which is published by Gloria and weighs in at a staggering 12kg.

It is set to become the most expensive book in football history. Signed by Pelé and every surviving member of the 1970 Brazil World Cup squad, the “Carnival Edition”, bound in silk, has been attracting massive interest in an online auction.
